I'm getting something similar - new documents are causing Netscape to show the download prompt. They work OK in IE5 so I guess Netscape is not recognizing the type. regards Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: bruce(a)perens.com [mailto:bruce@perens.com] > Sent: 14 July 1999 01:26 > To: zope(a)zope.org > Subject: [Zope] A4 cache control panel is broken > > > In 2.0.0a4, when I click either of the "change" buttons in > the cache control > panel, my browser attempts to download the methods those > buttons are supposed > to call.

by fritz.heinrichmeyer＠fernuni-hagen.de 14 Jul '99

I also had a hard time getting Zope working with apache. After browsing to apache documentation i changed the proposed rewrite rule by exchanging e= with E= the rest was ok on my freebsd box. Then i got an error message that directed me to reconfigure the cgi-bin directory: <Directory "/usr/local/share/apache/cgi-bin"> .... Options ExecCGI .... </Directory>

uploading documents to Zope
by Joachim Schmitz 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Hi, I tired with clicking on 6 different icons to upload a dtml-file which I edited on my local machine. Since I'm not using Zope 2.0 ftp is not an option. I'm thinking of writing a python-script, which does the same as the Netscape-Composer publish-method. I checked urllib.py, but found only examples for retrieving files from the server, same for httplib.py. Could someone point me to documentation how to do this, or is this not possible or to difficult at all?

How can you generalize SQL methods ?
by Marco Guidi 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Hi I've the following problem: I'd like to have in my "root" folder some general SQL (mysql) methods so that I can call them from the subfolders. I insert here 2 examples of what I'd like to do. 1- Creating a general INSERT query. I tried to create a query resembling the following: INSERT INTO  () values ( -->) where field table_name, field_name, field_value and field_type are arguments for the methon. Naturally this doesn't work. Is there any way to do something like this ? 2- creating a general SELECT query. I'd like to parametrize the name and the number of the fields shown by a SELECT mysql query. Something like SELECT <variable_number_of_fields_of_variable_names> from  where table_name is an argument for the method. I've no ideas about how to implement the variable_number_of_fields_of_variable_names. Is there anyone who can help me (eventually source code examples or links to them will be welcome). Thank you in advance. Marco Guidi e-mail: guidi(a)sssup.it

I am an American here in Germany who uses Linux, Gimp, Netscape, and emacs on the University of T�bingen to design web pages. I would like to start using Zope and wrote my administrator a Email one month ago asking him to install Zope, but have received no response. I downed loaded it anyway and wanted to try and install Zope on my 'fs listquota' memory in the same way That I down loaded and installed a cd player with 'xmcd' command. But it did not work. Currently I am to poor to buy a PC and install Linux at home. Has any one installed Zope with out the help of an administrator. thanks Jeremiah Luna http://homepages.uni-tuebingen.de/student/jeremiah.luna _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [Zope] Question: user homepages

Furthermore, >say that I have a set of users I trust a bit more that can >also create Confera >topics on their homepages. 1. Create two roles: (eg.) SiteUsers and SitePowerUsers. 2. For your Users folder, go to the Security tab and give appropriate permissions to these roles; for example, you'll want full DTML access to SiteUsers and SitePowerUsers, but Confera permissions only to SitePowerUsers. 3. Go to each and every home folder (eg., Users/Bob), click on the Security tab, select Local Roles, and assign the SiteUsers role to the user or users who should own this folder. For power users, add the SitePowerUsers as well. You might want to build a ZClass or External Method combo to ease this process (eg., a form which lets you add new home folders). >BTW: is there a way to log out from the management environment >so you can >connect as a user with less privileges for testing purposes? That's browser-specific -- Zope's management interface does not do persistent logins. Just open a new browser instance. In IE 5.0, just open a new window. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "He could open a tin of sardines with his teeth, strike a Swan Vestas on his chin, rope steers, drive a steam locomotive and hum all the works of Gilbert and Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears." --Robert Rankin, _The Book of Ultimate Truths_

RE: [Zope] Text won't Wrap on Zope site
by Alexander Staubo 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

It seems the site in general is tailored to an 800x600 resolution -- which isn't a high resolution by most standards today. Some of the pages, such as the Zope 2.0.0a4 download screen, only fit well within 1024x768 pixels, which isn't a high resolution either (you can run this resolution comfortably on a good 15" display, which sell (the good ones, that is) for about $200 nowadays), but that's not to say it's ideal, or even acceptable. :-> -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "He could open a tin of sardines with his teeth, strike a Swan Vestas on his chin, rope steers, drive a steam locomotive and hum all the works of Gilbert and Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears." --Robert Rankin, _The Book of Ultimate Truths_ >-----Original Message----- >From: zope-admin(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of >Robert OConnor >Sent: 14. juli 1999 03:39 >To: Jim Fulton; zope(a)zope.org >Subject: [Zope] Text won't Wrap on Zope site > > >Minor annoyance: >I'm traveling and using my laptop that only has 600x800 >resolution and with IE 5 and medium font selected >and full screen view the text at: > >***Example from Jim's recent note: >> Zope 2.0 alpha 4 is available (finally) at: >http://www.zope.org/Download/Releases/Zope-2.0.0a4 > >TEXT Does NOT wrap! >It requires using scroll bars to read. > >Is this due to the use of style sheets?

Re: [Zope] OSES project - should it run under Zope?

> Q2: call me crazy, but I think that WikiWikiWeb is a great collaboration tool > (http://c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki) There is a Python version, but I'd like to have > this running inside Zope so you can apply Zope's management features to it. I > talked to the author, he's interested, but maybe this alread has been done? Cees, TWiki is a web based collaboration tool with features that probably meet many of your requirements. TWiki looks and feels like a normal Intranet or Internet web site. However it also has a Edit link at the bottom of every web page, everybody can change a topic or add content. It reads a text file, hyper links it and converts it to HTML on the fly. Features include automatic link generation, full text search, page revision control, page locking, email notification of changes, file attachments to web pages, and more. TWiki is based on JosWiki, the collaboration tool of JOS (Free Java Based Operating System) at http://www.jos.org/ , which in turn is a clone of the original Wiki by Ward Cunningham. (By now, JOS is using the TWiki engine) The TWiki home is at http://www.mindspring.com/~peterthoeny/twiki/index.html A live demo of TWiki is at http://starship.python.net/crew/scharf/TWiki/bin/view/Main/ -- Peter.Thoeny(a)TakeFive.com Director ||| US Custom Engineering, Services & Support (o o) -------------------------------------------+----oOO--( )--OOo----+ http://www.TakeFive.com/ +1-800-418-2535 | The Source Code | Phone: +1-408-777-1440 ext 231 (UTC -8h) | Engineering Company | Fax: +1-408-777-1444 +======oo=====oo======+

Zope suitability
by Sreekant Kodela 14 Jul '99

14 Jul '99

Dear all I don't know if this is right to send a silly question to this list, but I couldn't find any proper place anywhere else. I have recently installed Zope and zserver. I have already developed a complete web site based on Python and Postgresql, Apache. However maintenance might become the bottleneck for me as I am the only one who manages it. I want to redo the whole thing in Zope. I wonder if you can show any light / comments on this. Also can somebody PLEASE give me a clue, where I can find a tutorial on how to use zope and what are the steps. I am really struggling to develop any thing. A beginners tutorial would be great. Thanks for your time -- Sreekant Kodela
